A global overview of the conservation of freshwater decapod crustaceans / Tadashi Kawai, Neil Cumberlidge, editors.
This book introduces updated information on conservation issues, providing an overview of what is needed to advance the global conservation of freshwater decapods such as freshwater crabs, crayfish, and shrimps. Biodiversity loss in general is highest in organisms that depend on intact freshwater ha...
